My CS Source server keeps getting huge ping spikes, everyone on there except for me (I'm on the LAN) gets pings in excess of 700. I have just reinstalled the server from scratch, added nothing, and still get ping spikes. Has anyone got some magic fix for this? The server is a 1.4ghz P4 with 128megs of ram. I don't believe it has anything to do with the specs, as the old server was a 400mhz Celeron with 192megs of ram. This didnt happen until I updated the game about a month ago, been trying everything since. Any help would be appreciated.

OK I just upgraded to 2.6.11-5-686, built from the source, and I still get lag. I took out most unneeded modules from it. Is there someone that can help?

I had the same problem. You might wanna increase your RAM. My Lag spikes didn't clear up until i upgraded my CPU from Xeon 1.7Ghz, to Dual Xean 2Ghz. Also, try running the nice command.
nice -n -0 ./server.script
where server.script contains your srcds command and arguements.
Worked for me....good luck

That nice -n 0 ./server.script didnt work...Still get pings of 700+. I don't see any spikes when I am watching 'top', and my old server worked just fine with 192mb of ram, with a cpu of 400mhz.

I run fluxbox when I need to, but never when running the Source server. I don't keep fluxbox open 24/7.

OK I think I may have solved it...It has something to do with IPv6 and the DHCP client. I guess every 5 minutes or so the server would request a new IP from my router, thus lagging like hell. I set the server to a static IP, and disabled IPv6 and it looks like the lag is gone.

try removing, fps_max 600, i had very strange lag issues when i tried to set host_framerate and fps_max from my server.cfg, add +fps_max 600 to your command line instead.
